      Hahaha.. "Mr President you have 1,200 political prisoners"

      His reply, "Oh come on... I've released like 200 of them!"

      Let's not forget where the "rus" comes from in Belarus.

        I have a feeling Steve overdid it just a tad. I'd stay away from elevators, windows and water that came from open containers for awhile.

        Please love yourself.

          Don't forget, the President says you can open your mouth. But if you open it too widely?

            No, Steve did his job and Lukashenko understood that. Just letting the BBC have an unprepared question indicates that Lukashenko was ready for wherever Steve would take it. I noticed that Lukashenko was very informal with Rosenberg and even addressed him in the familiar second person throughout the encounter. If Putin were ever to address a foreign correspondent in the familiar it would be in condescension. This was not the case here. In Soviet times, Lukashenko used to be State Farm boss and dealt with all sorts of people. He knows how to speak to people without coming across as threatening.

              I was mostly just joshin', but I really appreciate the explanation; none of that you can get from the video.

              I often think that a lot of our misinformation is self-inflicted. We have the technology to watch what happens across the world in real-time, but not the cultural context to understand what we see.

                You get it. And now you can understand why the Kremlin has repeatedly refused interview requests from Steve Rosenberg to interview Putin. At the same time, it takes no effort to figure out why “that FuCa” was afforded the privilege to play dumb witness to the choreographed spectacle Putin awarded to American audiences last year.
